no caller ID

Hm, "no caller ID" just called. For the second time this week. On my cell phone, not a listed number. I know, there are people with bigger problems, but I'm just musing - it's my ex, right? I caught him in this once before, my cell rings up no caller ID, then my office phone rings and it's him, complaining about how hard it is to get ahold of me.. No message from this mystery caller, of course. Maybe there's a poll-type discussion here - fess up, who's blocked caller ID and called an ex? I'll admit, shortly after the breakup, I'd call his office phone late at night, so I could hear his voicemail without leaving a suspicious trail. Anyone have a confession or true covert-caller story? Anyone ever try to bust your mystery caller, confront the likely culprit?

They do, but unfortunately it would take a court order to gain access to the restricted number.
She is just curious what you're up to, and the fact that you're not responding is just killing her. But to me, she sounds rather intense. Really, after a couple of calls and no response, why isn't she backing off? Tells me something about her personality - she's immature and impatient. You've become a challenge to her, whereas if you gave in, the challenge would be over and she wouldn't be interested. But, if she's going to be this insistent on getting ahold of you and your job is going to suffer because you're scared to answer the phone, maybe you should just answer the call and if it's her, just be pleasant but brief. If you're at work you would have a great excuse to cut the call short - you're just "really busy right now".
As for Milton's initial post in this series, yes, I have received blocked calls on my cell. My home phone is programmed so it doesn't accept blocked calls. Yes, I'm assuming it's my ex - three blocked calls on my cell in two weeks is rather suspicious. No, I don't want to confront him on it. What would that do? Unless of course it got way out of hand - then you have a stalker situation. No, I haven't called him and blocked my call - I have thought about it, but I think he'd probably figure it out, and it really wouldn't do anything for me anyway but give me a second or two of his time.
I feel really sorry for you.

I've gotten those calls too; my heart pounds, my breath catches and I panic and speculate for 20 minutes.... then I think, what does it matter if it's him?? What difference does it make?
p.s. samie2004, OF COURSE we're not over him!!! That's why we're on these message boards, to help ourselves move on. If you've moved on, why are YOU here?
